I got a stiff neck from all this bowing down
I wasn't made to be kissing the ground
You pricks are parading on
And from this lowly point of view
The cracks in the pavement
Look like canyons I wish you'd all fall into
I hauled up in a den on S4th and Driggs
Doors down from where
My hero drowned in his Black Spring
A century on and the words still ring true
""No saint ever set foot on Myrtle Ave""
Why the face, give us a smile
What did you expect
From a city that loves no one
On my own, far from being alone
I find myself

I got a stiff neck from looking up to you
Seeing through the worn out monologues
And the counterfeit views
I want to know who do you become
Without your audience or
Chorus line kicking along
On the rooftop having no fun
In bellows of
The city that loves no one
Crushed by the crowd
Unaccounted for
Surrounded

They pour out like ants through a crack in the wall
Starved for attention, eating their young
I might just stay a while, stay a while, stay a while
I want to be ignored, be ignored, be ignored
